Have a Honey of a Day treat ;)

This project was one that I was looking forward to making. It's pretty easy and self explanatory. The topper was made with the Top Note die. The bee and sentiment are from the Just Buzzin' By stamp set. If you have any questions, please ask!

The hardest part about it was finding the Bit O Honey candy. I struck out a lot! I ended up finding it at Family Dollar and Dollar Tree. My mother also said Cracker Barrel has it. Just FYI, Dollar Tree seems to have a lot of the old time candy. I found the pixie sticks there too.

I apologize. My blog is going to be quiet this week. I've got a lot of personal stamping and scrapping to do. I'm making a baby paper bag album. And I'm making baby shower invitations. Both for different people :) It's soo exciting that all my young friends are having babies :) And I've got a hostess gift to make for this Friday's party. I'll post all those later after I've given them to the recipients. I'm looking forward to sharing those with you, but until then, please know I haven't disappeared.

Just Buzzin By filmstrip card

This set is soo cute!! The little bees are perfect for putting in a filmstrip. I got the idea for the background from someone on Splitcoaststampers. I stamped the images I wanted in Summer Sun onto Summer Sun paper, then I took the white gel pen and outline & highlighted certain areas. It is a neat effect.

I haven't forgotten the bleach stamping video that I promised you. I've actually made my card for it already and have tried filming the video several times, but I kept getting interrupted--phone calls etc!! I hope to refilm it tomorrow. So stay tuned :)

Ribbon & Paper Shares Update, Plus Just Buzzin By Card

Hey, everyone!! I just wanted to update you on the Ribbon Shares and Designer Paper Shares. You will see links on the right of this blog so you can immediately go to the specifics of the shares. BUT they now include free Sale-a-bration items. There are still some spots left. I am hoping that these will fill up during the Valentine's Day Class and I can place the order on Feb. 1st. If you aren't local, you can still take part in them, but you'll have a small shipping fee that you can find in the details of the original post. Email me if you're interested.

Anyway, I found out something that shocked me with this catalog. I'm RETRO!!! First, I love all the retro style sets. But they also have a greetings set called Really Retro--and guess what???? I say all those things in that set!!! 8-O Retro is NOT the same as old, RIGHT??? And since retro is "in", then I must be cool!! Phew!!

This card uses one of the retro sets called Just Buzzin' By. It's such a cute set. It's a fun one to color too :) ONE TIP when you're color is to follow the shading already put into the art work. Like on the hive, I used a darker ink to follow the hive lines that were already drawn in for me. Can you see that in the picture?
